port 8332 is the rpc port on the remote bitcoind you want to connect to through the tunnel.

"ssh -NL localhost:6666:your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to:8332 [email protected]"
and then run "bitcoin-qt -rpcport=6666 -rpcuser=whatever.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to -rpcpassword=xxx.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to"
Again, I haven't tried this (with bitcoin-qt). I have tunnelled with ssh.
That didn't work for me
Am I just being thick? I can't see where the port 8332 fits in the chain... Again, I haven't tried this (with bitcoin-qt). I have tunnelled with ssh.
How? Like you show above? That's tunneling, isn't it?
bitcoind. Look at e. g. -rpcconnect=
Ok, if it's possible good to know. However having bitcoin-qt or any other software with a GUI doing the same would be useful.
Just use the tools that are there. Tunnel with ssh if you really need this. Something like
"ssh -NL localhost:6666:your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to:8332 [email protected]"
and then run "bitcoin-qt -rpcport=6666 -rpcuser=whatever.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to -rpcpassword=xxx.on.your.machine.with.bitcoind.you.want.to.talk.to"

I am trying to run bitcoin-qt from my from ubuntu server onto my windows 7 machine. How do you do that?
You can't use bitcoin-qt as a RPC client.Sorry to hijack the topic, grue, are you aware then of a bitcoin RPC client that could connect to a bitcoind running on a distant machine? It seems it exists for android, what about windows and linux?

I have cygwin, and have started the X server. But when I run ssh -X user@ubuntu machine, bitcoin-qt says it cannot connect to my X server.
Unless you have an X server running i WINDOWS, it doesn't matter how much forwarding you have.
I missed that cygwin has an X server. Sorry. I haven't looked at cygwin in a long time and at that time I
didn't see any X server.
I've also tried with Xming.
Perhaps I'm not setting DISPLAY properly before running bitcoin-qt? I've tried a number of things and I'm not certain which it should be....
I think ssh -X sets the DISPLAY at the host for you. When I last used cygwin (in 2007 I think) it worked like a charm to do X forwarding.
Note however that in any case you should be able to use the command-line bitcoind RPC calls. I do this from time to time (although GNU/Linux to GNU/Linux) and it works without any problems or caring about X.

I have cygwin, and have started the X server. But when I run ssh -X user@ubuntu machine, bitcoin-qt says it cannot connect to my X server.
I also have putty, with X11 forwarding enabled. That doesn't work either (same error).
Any help greatly appreciated.....

I am trying to run bitcoin-qt from my from ubuntu server onto my windows 7 machine. How do you do that?
You can't use bitcoin-qt as a RPC client.Oh. so the only way to run it is by being sat on the local machine?
